Initial details reveal a bill that would slash technical assistance, value-added market opportunities, and critical research, while simultaneously undermining fair competition. Framed as fiscal responsibility, these cuts to relatively small yet essential programs for farmers and their communities ring particularly hollow against the backdrop of a House-passed reconciliation bill that would balloon the federal deficit by more than $2.4 trillion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe look forward to continuing to work with Appropriations and Congressional leaders to develop a final FY2026 Agriculture Appropriations bill that invests in a bright future for all of American agriculture.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The full text of the House FY2026 Appropriations bill can be seen <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.house.gov\/meetings\/AP\/AP01\/20250605\/118353\/BILLS-119-SC-AP-FY2026-Agriculture-FY26AgricultureSubcommittee.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>###<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>About the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC)<\/em><em>The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition is a grassroots alliance that advocates for federal policy reform supporting the long-term social, economic, and environmental sustainability of agriculture, natural resources, and rural communities.
